Kornik pie is known since imperial times. The basis of the pie is chicken, which is probably why the dish got its name. Although there is another version of why the cake is called a chicken pot: a hole is made in the center of the dish so that steam can come out (“smoke”).

Instruction manual
1
Sift flour through a sieve, melt butter (or margarine). Then mix the flour, margarine, sour cream. Add a pinch of salt and vinegar-quenched baking soda. Knead the dough. It should turn out soft, plastic. Put the dough for an hour in the refrigerator and prepare the filling.
2
Chop the chicken finely. For the pie, you can use a chicken leg or breast.
3
Chop the onion. It can be cut into strips or half rings.
4
Pepper and salt the meat, add aromatic spices.
5
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin rings or slices.
6
Oil the baking dish.
7
When the topping ingredients are ready, remove the dough from the refrigerator. Divide it into two parts: one larger, the other smaller. Roll out a larger piece of dough and place the layer in the dishes in which the cake will be baked. It is better for these purposes to use a baking sheet with high edges. Leave a little dough around the edges, it will be used to tweak the pie.
8
Now start spreading the filling. The first layer is chicken. It should completely cover the dough. Then lay out the next - onion layer. Salt it lightly. Add potatoes on top. Sprinkle it with salt again. Add greens on top.
9
To make the cake juicy, put a few slices of butter on a potato or a couple of spoons of sour cream, pre-mixed with spices.
10
Roll out the rest of the dough and cover it with the pie. Pinch the dish around the edges. And make a hole in the center. To do this, you can use a thick knitting needle or pierce the cake in several places with a toothpick.
eleven
In a small bowl, beat the egg in the foam and grease the pastries with it. Give the cake a little distance, and then put it in the oven heated to 200 degrees. Bake for 35-40 minutes. The readiness of the dish can be checked with a wooden toothpick or match. Pierce the pie. If there is no dough or filling left on the match, then the dish can be pulled out of the oven.
12
Pull out the cake, sprinkle it with water and cover with a towel so that it “lies down”. Then you can serve.
Useful advice
Boiled rice, buckwheat, eggs, and mushrooms fried with onions can also be added to the henhouse. You can make a kurnik multi-layer, repeating the sequence of ingredients several times. For pie, you can also use yeast or puff pastry. It is successful to use boiled chicken meat for the filling, which then will need to be fried along with onions for juiciness. Sprinkle the caraway with caraway seeds, sesame seeds, etc., if desired.
